It was Saturday afternoon, and as she watched she saw the yellow-haired girl and two ladies come out and get in a motor car. "I don't like her!" Dotty declared again, though as there was no one else present, she talked to herself. "She walks like a prig, she gets in the car like a prig and she sits down on the seat like a prig! I don't like her, and I'm going to take the other room!"
But," I says, "I am acquainted with a friend, whose name is Betsey Prig, that I can recommend, and will assist me. Betsey," I says, "is always to be trusted under me, and will be guided as I could desire." Here Mrs Prig, without any abatement of her offensive manner again counterfeited abstraction of mind, and stretched out her hand to the teapot. It was more than Mrs Gamp could bear.
The third time he waved his hat clumsily, and she started and then answered with her hand. Then the trees hid her.... This sex business was a damnable business. If only because it made one hurt women.... He had trampled on Mrs. Skelmersdale, he had hurt and disappointed his mother. Was he a brute? Was he a cold-blooded prig? What was this aristocracy? Was his belief anything more than a theory?
Duncombe stood on the step, crying out, "Well, Cecil, how have you sped with Mrs. Bungay?" "Horrid woman!" and no more was heard, as Cecil entered Mr. Pettitt's establishment. "That might be echoed," said Tom, who was boiling over at the speech to his sister. "I knew that ape was an intolerable little prig of a peacock, but I didn't think she could be such a brute to you, Rosie!
"That man's the most complete prig in the 'Varsity," Dennison declared, "and as long as a college has a lot of men like him in it nothing else matters. We don't want smugs here." "Murray," I said solidly, "is neither a prig nor a smug, and as you have never said half-a-dozen words to him you can't possibly know anything about him."
Prig does immediately upon her entrance, it is felt by the former to be necessary that Betsey should at once be made sensible of her exact station in society; wherefore Mrs. Gamp prefaced a remonstrance with "Mrs. Harris, Betsey " "Bother Mrs. Harris!" Then it was that the Reader added: "Mrs. Gamp looked at Betsey with amazement, incredulity, and indignation. Mrs.

'Instead of being grateful, Mrs Gamp observed, 'for all our little ways. Oh, fie for shame, sir, fie for shame! Here Mrs Prig seized the patient by the chin, and began to rasp his unhappy head with a hair-brush.
Pity he's ta'en to bad ways so airly." "You may spare me your compassion, friend," observed Thames; "I am falsely detained." "Of course," rejoined Quilt, maliciously; "every thief is so. If we were to wait till a prig was rightfully nabbed, we might tarry till doomsday. We never supposed you helped yourself to a picture set with diamonds not we!"
When you know you are all PRIGS, what difference can a broad or a narrow brim create? Is a prig less a prig in one hat than in another? If the public should be weak enough to interest themselves in your quarrels, and to prefer one pack to the other, while both are aiming at their purses, it is your business to laugh at, not imitate their folly.
Gilbert's feeble remonstrances were treated as a jest, and Algernon, who could brook no opposition, swore that he would conquer the little prig. Maurice found himself pinioned by strong arms, but determined and spirited, he made a vigorous struggle, and so judiciously aimed a furious kick, that Mr. Cavendish Dusautoy staggered back, stumbling against the table, and causing a general overthrow.
